I adore the mad scientist on Fringe. "We can test this." "How?" "Do I need to leave him alive?" "That would be a good thing."
He's so refreshingly practical and mad.
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

Loki is trying hard to open the clear plastic index card box that holds the fake mice he goes insano-growly-feral over. Since he doesn't have thumbs, ain't working. But really funny!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I got some feedback on Sam from a friend who is vegan, and the sort of vegan with two grills so she can entertain meat-eating friends and family at barbecues.
She really saw a pro-animal stance in the story. I hadn't thought about it. I mean, it's a story about an animal, and animals that eat animals. Maybe it's the anthropomorphication?
Something about the fact the animals have families, and love their families, I think, struck her.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yep. You found the right name. Sorry about that.

Exactly. I didn't expect him to live up to Trickster so much as curious-into-trouble-getting and coyote colors, but...yep.
eta: when I pry a fake mouse from his growling jaws and put it away, if I make a fist, he valiantly tries to pry it open and is convinced it must still be on my person.

Aww, at last I know where my precious Lucy*-cat was reincarnated.
* after Charlie Brown's Lucy. To stick with the OMG what was I thinking with that name theme.

Should such a thing exist, know she's got a good home. eta: and, um, balls.
Even if Devi's a bitch.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I wish I knew why success terrified me so.
connie - I know this one, even though I wish it to myself. Now, I don't know your reasons for it, but I find it a big help when a friend (not a specific friend, just any friend in general) will come, slap my face (metaphorically speaking) and go "you deserve this, bitch. And yes, you can do this. Now stop complaining already, for I have tons of Real Life Problems for you to hear and solve. How's the world peace coming along, by the way?".
Allyson - it is exciting to read these little updates about your book every morning. I find myself wondering what will happen to Sam when I come here, from time to time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not even sure how late I am with either--happy birthday Nilly and Emmett!
I slept through my PT appointment today. It was at 3:30. I'm not sure how I managed to sleep almost uninterrupted that long. I'm going to have to set alarms every day. How is that to spend time off work?
